The Area
Trullo Gaura is situated in the south of the Valle d'Itria between Ceglie Messapica and Martina Franca and close to Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views. Ceglie Messapica has a beautiful old town centre and is renowned for the quality of its restaurants and its important food festivals. The Valle d'Itria is probably best known for its trulli, and nowhere are these more in evidence than in the picture-postcard town of Alberobello. Locorotondo and Cisternino are also well worth a visit. If you are looking for beaches, the Adriatic and Ionian coasts offer endless stretches of sand and some well-recommended lidos. Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.

Trullo Gaura was so beautiful, inside and out. It was the perfect holiday for us. Stylish, clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and near a beautiful little town.

Trullo Gaura was wonderful and well equipped with everything we needed. We liked the layout, the tranquillity, and the swimming pool. The staff was helpful and it was in a beautiful location for local day trips.
DC July 2024
Trullo Gaura is a beautifully designed villa with gorgeous gardens and lots of nice places to laze the day away - very well though out and felt more like a home than a rental. We would return.
